Ways to Give to Nevada
Fund for Nevada
Thousands of Nevada alumni and friends give each year to the annual development funds of the University's colleges, departments, and programs. These gifts, of all sizes, provide unrestricted funds -- a pool of resources that can be easily directed by colleges and other units to where they are needed most. You may contribute to these funds by responding to a mail appeal, to our Wolf Call telefund program, by establishing a payroll deduction (for Nevada faculty and staff) or making a gift online today.
Cash Gifts
Cash gifts may be made in person at the Financial Services and Records office or online.
Personal Property and Gifts in Kind
Items such as artwork, rare books, collections, products and modern equipment may be accepted as gifts and qualify you for a tax deduction. http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc506.html on 'tax deduction.'
Stock and Securities Gifts
Gifts of marketable stocks or mutual fund shares that have appreciated (increased in value) can have an immediate impact on your favorite University of Nevada, Reno program -- and also create an immediate income tax deduction for you based on the assets' current value.
Real Estate
Most real estate has appreciated faster than the rate of inflation and offers great potential in charitable gift planning. We would be happy to talk with you about a gift of a home, vacation property, condominium, undeveloped land, or other real estate in support of the University.
Matching Gifts
Many contributors double or even triple their support for the University of Nevada, Reno each year by making use of their employer's matching gift programs. The university is grateful to these companies and foundations for their generosity. To find out if your company participates in such a program, search our online database of companies that match gifts.
Gift Planning
One of the most effective means of giving to the University of Nevada, Reno is through a planned gift. Gift planning is the process of carefully selecting the best methods and assets for making a gift, such as cash, securities, real estate, life insurance, trusts, and bequests. A planned gift can enable you to assist Nevada in its mission of education, research, and outreach while also reducing your burden of income, capital gains, or estate taxes. Learn more about gift planning.
Honorary and Memorial Gifts
A gift in memory or honor of a teacher, student, relative, or friend is a generous and thoughtful way to recognize a person's life and accomplishments. When an honorary or memorial gift is made, the Foundation will notify the honoree or next of kin of your thoughtfulness. Honorary and memorial gifts may be made via our online giving site.
